NetBSD is a freely redistributable, open source version of the Unix-like BSD computer operating system. It was the second open source BSD variant to be formally released, after 386BSD, and continues to be actively developed. Noted for its portability and quality of design and implementation, it is often used in embedded systems and as a starting point for the porting of other operating systems to new architectures.
History
NetBSD, like its sister project FreeBSD, was derived from the original University of California Berkeley's 4.3BSD release via the Networking/2 and 386BSD releases. The project began as a result of frustration within the 386BSD developer community with the pace and direction of the operating system's development. The four founders of the NetBSD project, Chris Demetriou, Theo de Raadt, Adam Glass and Charles Hannum, felt that a more open development model would be more beneficial to the project; one which was centred on portable, clean, correct code. Their aim was to produce a unified, multi-platform, production-quality, BSD-based operating system.
